Using Zorin 8, and Krusader 2.4.0, for some reason Krusader will not recognize any USB devices unless I first open the device in Nautilus, and copy the mount point folder location from the address bar of Nautilus, and the paste that into the address bar of Krusader. It then will open the device correctly, until I close Krusader, then I have to copy/paste again. However no matter what I do Krusader will not recognize my LG android phone at all, not ever. No matter what I do it will not see the phone.
I first posted this on the Krusader mailing list as they've completely shut down their support forum due to "spam". I was told that "I'd say it's the fault of your OS, which is
meant to work out-of-the-box, for not automounting"
After I clearly stated that plugging in the device results in it immediately being displayed on the desktop, and Nautilus (I think that's the default file manger for Zorin), automatically recognizes and mounts the device. Also I've tried a couple other file managers, they also automatically recognized and mounted all devices, it's just Krusader that won't.
Personally I think that the difference in how Zorin, and KDE register the presence of USB devices is the cause, I'm not a coder, but everything else works, you know the old "looks like a duck" saying. lol. I've tried a few other managers that are modeled after Krusader, or Krusader is modeled after them whichever it is, but I just don't like them, I like Krusader that's the beauty of Linux isn't it, you can do whatever you want to do.
So does anyone have any suggestions on what might make this work?
